Publisher's summary

After a tough childhood and a brief and bruising career as a boxer, Jordan McAddie isn’t sure she has anything left to offer in a relationship. Desperately trying to make a difference, she focuses on becoming a social worker and helping street kids find their way. But someone is targeting her kids, luring them to an underground political group whose protests are becoming increasingly more provocative and dangerous.

When Ali Clarke—Jordan’s first love and first broken heart—walks back into her life and becomes intertwined with the youth boxing program, Jordan is torn between past and present. Dedicated to keeping her kids safe, Jordan fights old fears that she will never be good enough, while trying to believe she might have a future with Ali.

Impactful

Ms. Webb takes us to a different world in a different world. The descriptions of Halifax are appreciated. It is illustrated that even in a tourist destination, even in Canada, people are struggling and suffering. Kids are disposable, and systems are broken. It is a joy to see Jordan and Allie, and Maddie fight for the kids. This book shows boxing as a sport and a conduit into young people's lives.

I love that this story carries so much. A community at risk, a thriller, and such a vibrant cast of characters.
